Customer Reviews

I like the beat and I can dance to it.

Mychal A

Nice gaming product reviews, good interviews, a bit of humor.... well done.

Unique perspective amongst a crowded genre

by
Fl0ydski

Both Chris and Brian bring their unique perspective to both the Gaming industry in general and the products available in the RPG and Tabletop sectors. But I don't want to pigeonhole these guys by making it sounds like that is all they cover. Do yourself a favor a and download 2 episodes (I'm saving you time, after you hear one. You will want to hear another). And give it a try yourself.
The capsule reviews are very good.
The interviews have been fantastic.
And the talk in general has been very interesting.
The experience these guys bring to the table cannot be denied. Please keep it up!

I like the angle

by
hofzinsers

A store owner's angle on the industry and the games makes this a great listen.
